Updated review. Current situation is that everything still shut down due to COVID. My wife drove all the way down to Anh Hong (from Dublin) to get take out for our 20th anniversary since their rice wraps have been one of our favorite go to meals since before we got married. We asked for extra wraps and veggies and they were very generous and gave us a lot! And when they found it was our 20th they also gave us some beer to celebrate! Thank you so much! The food was delicious as usual and we wish everyone at Anh Hong the best during these times. We look forward to having dinner there again soon! read more

Anh Hong Saigon - Yummy rice wraps. So nicely packaged for take out. - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

I have always been curious about Vietnamese food that is not pho, so jumped at the chance to eat with my friend at one of her favorites, Anh Hong Saigon. On a Friday evening, it wasn't too packed, and I will say the service here is impeccable from beginning to end. The decor is dated, but it was pretty clean. Seemed like everyone was doing the seven course beef menu which is what they're known for, and we did the same. I liked the first part, the beef shabu, the beef salad, and making my own spring rolls with fresh veggies. When the other beef entrees came out, I wasn't a fan of the smell of the lemongrass, the la lot leaf, etc. Everything had a funky smell to it, and the texture of the beef patties was off putting as well. The beef porridge felt more like ginger porridge, and I was not a fan of it either. Overall, glad I tried something new, and service here is phenomenal. The beef course is just not my cup of tea unfortunately. read more

The wait at this place on weekends/ Friday nights are always really long (~30-1hour). My family and I always order the 7 course beef meal. I love how the meal includes so much fresh veggies (pretty much unlimited). The grilled beef sausages are my favorite because they are so flavorful! We always order one less order for the amount of people are because it's a lot of food (so if there's 5 people, we'll order 4 orders of the 7 course beef meal). The inside of the restaurant is clean and pretty spacious. Although sometimes when they get busy, the service doesn't really get to you unless you go up and ask yourself. read more

Go and try this place. The fish takes 30 minutes to make but worth the wait. We ordered egg rolls and they were great too. The place around 7pm starts to become busy. I will definitely go back and try their other food like the Vietnamese omelette. read more

Anh Hong is seriously a hidden gem, I was not expecting anything. We were looking for a dinner spot, and this place had the shortest wait in the plaza, and we're beyond glad we came here. NO PHO. It's on the door, in bold letters. The place was packed and there was a short wait. It's always a good sign to see Asian people supporting/eating at Asian restaurants. We were seated right by the kitchen, probably the best table in the house. The restaurant is clean, dim lighting, good atmosphere. We started with the egg rolls wrapped with the white noodles on the outside. This is a MUST. It was amazing, every bite. It was a nice texture, great flavor, I highly recommend it. We went with the 7 course beef special, I think that's their signature dish. It's $30/person, little pricey but I think it's worth it. You start with a salad, very refreshing. The ingredients were fresh. Then comes the meat. You get 3 different types of sausages, 3x each. Beef with onion, beef wrapped in some type of leaf, and a simple beef. All were delicious, my favorite was he beef with onion in the middle. You can get as many veggies and rice paper wraps. Don't be fooled, 9 wraps is a lot of food. At the end, to wrap things up, you get a sweet rice porridge. It was good, nice way to end the meal. I was stuffed.. This was a fantastic meal. When you think Vietnamese, usually the first thing that comes to mind is pho. This gives me another option next time since I'm always open for Vietnamese food. Service was amazing. Our servers were very attentive and quick. Although the bill was a little pricey, it was well worth it imo. I'll be back soon. read more

Summary: Highly recommend! I will definitely come back for some more bo 7 mon; it was all very well seasoned and cooked. It gets REALLY busy right around 6, so try to get there closer to open. Good: I loved all of the rolled beef, especially the bo cuon mo chai and bo nuong xa. The bo cha dum was also very delicious, good flavor and texture. They have ample banh trang and vegetables for rolling. From salad to chao to portion size, I was not disappointed. The ambiance was peaceful, and the servers were very attentive. Bad: I think seeing the line that filed in right after we sat down was a bit intimidating. Ugly: Nothing to note! read more

7 Courses Beef?! When first heard about it, already lost me, considering I am a Steak Lover! 7 courses of the same thing sounds tiresome! Would be better if instead 7 Courses Meal (of different mixture - beef, seafood, chicken, etc.). To give it a try, came on a Saturday afternoon with friends who love and recommended 7 Courses Beef! First, do not like that they set the limit of must be a minimum 2 orders ($25 per order). What's wrong with just having customers order however minimum they prefer?! After having tried all the food after 4 orders among us friends, I felt full but not satisfied. Technically, I would call this 5 Courses Beef! Did not see or taste anything special about the "Special Beef Salad". Simply strands of veggies with a few tiny beef bits sprinkled on top. Hence, a few beef bits into veggie strands does not make it a beef course to me. Likewise, for the Beef Rice Porridge. Among 6 of us, no one could finish the porridge as it was bland. It's as if someone had just boiled hot water, throw in some rice and AGAIN sprinkled with a few beef bits. A few pieces of beef bits into a bowl of mostly rice & water does not make it a beef course. Perhaps, if the salad had equal amount of beef strands (instead of few tiny bits) as the veggie strands and that there were nice chunks or many strands of beef in the porridge, then yes I would agree as "beef courses". The other 5 actual beef courses: 1. Beef in Red Wine Vinegar Sauce 2. Steamed Beef Patty 3. Grilled Beef Sausages 4. Beef wrapped in Hawaiian (La Lot) Leaf 5. Beef Rolls w/ Onions & Lemongrass The Steam Beef Patty & Beef in Red Wine Vinegar, I have no complaint. However, items 3,4,5 all tasted the same & mediocre to me. Cannot taste any difference between Hawaiian Leaf vs Lemongrass vs Onions vs grilled, etc, despite their difference in appearance. Some veggies, rice papers, and dipping sauce were provided to wrap & eat as Spring Roll style. This would all work out if each of us did not have to get up from our chair every time just to reach for veggies, rice paper, beef, etc. from opposite end of the table. Perhaps, would be better if they were to change the dining table to that of the typical Dim-Sum style where the top part can spin around for everyone to conveniently get what they need at every turn without ever getting up from the chair! Conclusion: We all have different taste & preferences. This is just my personal taste & opinion. Hence, kudos to my friends and to others who love this kind of food. For me, I will stick to my American Steak Houses - Filet Mignon, Prime Rib, Rib-Eye, etc. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday. We had a total of 13 guests without reservations, but one of us was able to add us on the waitlist. It was pretty busy, however the staff members were extremely accommodating considering we had a few people showing up late for seating. The servers were very prompt. Most of us ordered the 7 course beef, with a side of egg rolls and wonton soup. I'll keep it short, every dish was delicious. They also have a very tasty sauce that I recommend everyone try; they have 2 sauces, it's the darker one. Aside from the amazing food and service, we gratefully received complimentary beer! Fun times, delicious food, and great service! read more

Anh Hong is a gem. You can get really specialty dishes that most other Vietnamese restaurants don't have. We come here specifically for the fried whole cat fish with rice paper wrappers and veggies. Think crunchy fried skin brushed with honey and soft steamed fish meat inside. Yum! The restaurant decor and music is classy so you could come for special occasions, but it's still very casual so you can arrive in sweats for a comforting meal. The owners are kind-hearted, honest, and hard working. My mom comes here a lot and they always treat her like an old friend. read more

The 7 beef course is out of this world. It came with a beef salad, plates raw beef where you dip it in the hot pipping soup, then followed with three types of beef rolls and steamed beef meatballs and the stretch home run with the beef porridge. We ordered the extra fried catfish. You can eat the beef rolls alone or with their sides of herbs and lettuce wrap or make your own wrap with rice papers. What a fun way to dine. The beef rolls are very favorable and the steamed beef is mixed with rice vermicelli each is a great touch not too heavy. The beef roll that wrapped with "seaweed" is very interesting and tasty. The fried cat fish was fried crispy and the jalapeño elevated a notch. The last course was the beef porridge completed the whole beef with extra starch and warmth on a cold night. Good job and love to return on another cold night. read more

Food was delish and seemed quite authentic. Plenty to eat with wonderful sides, herbs, pickled vegetable etc. The people were wonderful and we absolutely recommend the Anh Hong Saigon. read more

The food is excellent, albeit on the pricier side. I highly recommend the medium-sized fried catfish for rice paper wraps, which is suitable for approximately 3-4 people. I personally love it and would go weekly if I had the opportunity. The service is satisfactory, although it would be ideal if the tables were slightly larger to accommodate all the ingredients needed for the rice paper wraps. read more

Anh Hong Saigon - Deep Fried Fish - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

Beef cooked seven ways dishes were good. Service was better than average. Will come again.

Came by for dinner the other night and it was a tasty experience. Reservations were unavailable at the desired time and the wait upon walking in was a mere ~10 minutes. Parking is plentiful in their private lot. The interior of the restaurant has remained static throughout the years. Anh Hong specializes in the 7 courses of beef which is more of a DIY wrapping of spring rolls. Courses include a beef salad, beef hot pot, 4 different varieties of beef skewers, and ending off with a beef porridge. Highlights have always been the super flavorful and fragrant beef skewers! Other highlights include the fried wontons, shrimp chips, and traditional egg rolls, just like in Vietnam! Service throughout the meal was efficient. ~$25/head after tax and gratuity. read more

I'm in Milpitas today. I'm familiar with the Anh Hồng in East SJ, that been around forever. I have some personal history with the Vung Tau Restaurant on E Santa Clara St., Anh Hồng on Tully Rd., and Nha Trang Restaurant in East SJ. I just never been to this location until now, it's newer. I finally got my Bò 7 Món. Bò 7 Món is a delicacy, a seven course meal made with all Beef. I always looked forward to something like this. It requires a party of 2 or more. The only other activity that requires two people or more is when I pop a bottle at a nightclub sometimes. To start off the House Beef Salad was fresh and crunchy. I actually like Bò Nướng Vĩ slightly more than Bò Nhúng Giấm. Bò Nướng Vĩ is closer to Korean BBQ, Teppanyaki, or Fajita. Bò Nhúng Giấm is interesting, I guess it's appropriate to describe it as a Fondue but with a Vinegar based Bone Broth. I've had a lot of variations of Bò Chả Đùm, and it's a meatloaf or patty that's very difficult to prepare without a proper steamer designed just for this. The Bò Mởi Chài reminds me of a Kebab, Shawarma, or Gyros. Bò Nướng Lá Lốt is like the ultimate street food, it reminds me of Dolma. The Bò Nứơng Xả that I know of cooked at home, would've been like what's in Bún Bò Nướng or Beef Vermicelli Noodles and rolled up with Turnip and not just Onions and Lemongrass. And I don't know what I like more, Beef Porridge or Fish Porridge. What would make this Congee better is Century Duck Egg. Also, sometimes a good substitute for Congee is Lẩu Bò or Beef Hot Pot. I was thinking this was going to be a 4.0-4.3 stars, but I give this 4.4 stars. read more

Why eat one dish of beef when you can have seven? Vietnamese's Bo Bay Mon is served at Anh Hong in Milpitas. The courses are house special beef salad, beef in red wine vinegar fondue, steamed beef patty, grilled beef sausages, beef wrapped in La lot leaf, beef roll with onions and lemon grass, and beef porridge. I love eating this with family because it allows you to share everything. This is also a fun, tradition dish to sample every thing. I love me some Spring rolls. They also have a location in East Side San Jose. Anh Hong Restaurant off Calaveras Blvd. In Milpitas, CA. read more

Had dinner here on Thursday, and the place is full, but we got serviced very quickly. We ordered 7 beef and the baked fish. The quantity was large and everything tated delicious. The fish was super crispy and fresh. Great place to eat on a qarm evening. read more

I definitely recommend this place if your looking for a legit 7 course beef or Vietnamese food in general! The quality of the meat is juicy and tender. Came in on a Monday night around 7:30pm. Waited for about 15 minutes for a table. Plenty of parking spots. The staff were very nice, helpful, and accommodating. The owner even came to visit our table to check if everything was good. Very nice guy! My favorite was the grape leaf wrapped beef. The vegetables were extremely fresh. The lamb dish was delicious! The side grape/tomato salad was unique and refreshing. The appetizer, Saigon Egg-rolls were nice and crunchy. I like how it was wrapped in banh hoi noodles with the green onions in oil on top with peanuts. The dipping fish sauce and pineapple sauce were on point! Not to salty. Perfect for all of the dishes. I'll definitely come back to this spot the next time I'm the bay! read more

It seems like almost every entree comes with rice paper, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, and different leaves (mint, cilantro, etc). I suck at wrapping it all up, but the quality of the food is so great that my sucky wrapping job hardy takes away from the flavor! Quality of everything I ordered was so great. I loved the beef carpaccio--the best I've ever had from any Vietnamese restaurant. The flavor of the food was really good too, even the next day when I ate leftovers. read more

I recently had my birthday dinner at Anh Hong Saigon and I'm very happy that I did! Despite arriving late with a large party, David and his team showed amazing hospitality and top notch service! The majority of our group was new to the experience but let's just say that there was no food left on the table once we were done. All of the dishes here are delicious so you can't go wrong but the "7 Course Beef" is certainly the highlight and has always been spot on for all of my previous visits. I'm sure that's why this place is always packed. So come early! Food: 5/5 Service: 10/5 Thank you David and team!! read more

5 Stars for food and service. -4 Stars for health inspections violations. Most concerning is 1) improper food storage containers, 2) equipment & utensils unclean, 3) observed rodents, insects, birds, animals. We've been eating here for years and years. Please get your act together and maybe we might return. Love the food. Hate the sanitation issues. Fix it. read more

Anh Hong Saigon - Where's the manager? - Vietnamese Near Me - Milpitas, California

The only reason that I leave 2 stars instead of 1 is because of past experiences. My friends and I (3-4 of us) have come to this restaurant twice in the past 5 weeks. Each time, we paid $120+ and left a consistent 18% tip. Today, we had a waiter who I did not encounter the last two times. He was adamant about what we should order. Otherwise, and these were his words to us, "it's not worth our effort to prepare the food for you." Mind you, we barely sat down and were still waiting for one more person to arrive. End result, we got up and left. Later, I found out from other friends that the same waiter was obnoxiously rude to them as well. We went to Canjun Crackin down the street and had a great dinner with tasty food and a super friendly waiter. read more

Amazing dishes that will leave the whole group happy and full of delight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This place is long overdue for a rating from me. Haven't been here in a while but their signature dish is the 7 course beef. It will definitely leave you feeling full when you're done and you may have leftovers to-go. This is worth trying if you haven't ordered it before. Good variety of beef done in several ways, delicious and good portions. I haven't tried other items on their menu but this restaurant has been here forever...so the food must be decent for the restaurant to stick around this long. read more

I've been coming here for decades. The food is always fresh and delicious. The servers are friendly and prompt.

Great 7 course beef, the flavors were excellent. Service was very friendly and the food came out quickly.

Amazing Vietnamese restaurant and probably the best one I've been to in the Bay Area! Very clean and nicely designed inside with exceptional service and authentic Vietnamese food. Hard to find! My family came here and ordered 10 or so dishes and each one was surprisingly delicious! My favorites were the Bo Nuong La Lot (beef wrapped in grape leaf and some with sausage casing), Bo Tai Chanh (raw beef carpaccio, and the Canh Chua (sweet and sour soup). We also order Banh Xeo, which I typically don't like due to the excessive bean sprouts used by other restaurants but this place uses thinly sliced jicama instead and the batter was so thin and crispy. The rice porridge was great, egg rolls were delicious and the clay pot fish got great reviews from my old school Vietnamese parents! The service was very attentive and polite and the staff wore masks at all times. The restaurant was extremely clean and we did not feel worried about dining inside during the pandemic at all. The portions were a nice size as well. I highly recommend dining here, indoors or to go! read more

Stopped in with a reservation for 5 and was greeted and seated pretty quickly. The seven course came out fresh and hot. And the tables they have are not big enough for hungry parties. But we managed. The papaya salad had a nice sweet and tangy flavor to start you off. The beef options that came later tasted really good and would keep you coming back again. Vietnamese food has its own distinctive flavor profile with fish sauce and spices. They make use of their dynamic flavors here. The course comes out fast and the restaurant gets busy so make a reservation if you don't want to wait hours for your food. read more

Food is amazing! The grilled beef, crispy baked fish (tell them ahead of time), saigon eggrolls, beef carpaccio just to name a few. We go here monthly with friends, or just the two of us and grub! Ordered trays of 3 types of grilled beef and veggies to go for a potluck and it was so good, everyone loved it. Wrap in salad or with rice paper and bam! read more

The food is pricey. The portions are way too small for the price. The service is cold. With the same price you can go to any all you can eat hot pot place to get much more high quality meats/shrimps and veggies. There's nothing special about their dishes. They are all very typical Vietnamese dishes you can find at other restaurants for much cheaper prices. The beef porridge bowl is especially skimpy in terms of quantity and quality. I don't even know how they can even serve it to customers. There was literally no beef, there are the tiny strings of something that look like protein but doesn't taste like beef. I can order a bowl of phở for $20 and it has more meat than all 3 courses I ordered here combined. No wonder the restaurant barely has any customers. The ambiance is very cold on Saturday night. read more

This is the place for 7 course beef. Food is always flavorful and good. Service is prompt. It's a casual place suitable for large groups.

My wife and I come here often and we both agree this is one of our go to restaurants. Would recommend coming to check this place out and give it a try. We always go for the seven course meal - salad, raw meat you dip into vinegar, four different types of meat, and rice porridge. They give a good amount and the two of us usually can't finish in one sitting. Service is pretty good too. Waiters/waitresses are pretty attentive and check on you periodically. There are some evenings it can get pretty busy so obviously it can be difficult to get help, but can't ding them on that. Even when they are busy, they do their best to quickly help you out. read more

Came to Anh Hong Milpitas for a low-key birthday dinner. While we left full and tickled pink by the mostly hands-on construction for dinner, I felt like the dishes just ranged from really great to mediocre at best. Perusing the menu, we weren't sold on the 7 courses of beef - we like a bit more variety in our life. That said, we were happy to find out that you can order parts of the 7 courses a la carte. We began our meal with the beef carpaccio. The beef was very generous, much more so than any Italian restaurant. That said, I thought it was a bit too sour - flavors provided by a lot of fish sauce, limes, basil, mint leaves, and heat from jalapenos. It definitely could have used something just a bit sweet. A recent version I had at another Vietnamese restaurant added fried onions on top which really made it memorable. Next came the Bo Nhung Dam (beef fondue cooked in red wine vinegar). This would be the second course in the 7 course meal (if you order it). I actually thought this dish was very good. The red wine vinegar was certainly evident so long as you dipped the beef closer to the bottom of the pot. It was also complemented nicely by the many garnishes of basil, mint, lettuce, cucumbers, etc. Then came our order of charbroiled pork chops, shrimp, and noodles. This dish was rather unfortunate in my opinion - the taste was all there - sweet, savory, a good amount of char....but value-wise? 5 medium shrimps and 5 slices of pork chops that were like 1/8" thick? For close to $20? Ouch. While I'm at it, I suggest you skip the fried quails. Dry to the bone. Rounding out the meal was the cubed steak with red rice. Again, not very plentiful, but flavors were good. I liked the tomato flavor in the rice and thought the onions and bell peppers were sauteed well with the beef. A true redeeming end to this meal though was the Chao Bo. This was phenomenal in my opinion. The fresh ginger flavor paired perfectly with the chicken broth which was then simmered with rice and thinly sliced beef and garnished with scallions. This is what chicken soup for the soul is meant to be. In regards to service, there were two little snafus but it wasn't the end of the world. Rice sheets were brought over without water to start it and our Chao Bo was forgotten until prompted by us. read more

This is the only place that I'll eat grilled fish at. Yes, there are other places in SJ that serve it but I'm very picky about fish. Honestly, I'm just not a fan of catfish. The owner here, sources quality fish and it's always consistent. I actually find myself craving it! 2nd favorite is the beef wrapped in la lot (leaf). It's always moist and so flavorful. I was so excited to hear they're offering the fish for takeout. We ordered it this weekend and it came with tons of veggies, rice paper and both dipping sauces. We didn't finish the whole thing and I was worried about it being fishy the next day. Put it in the oven, it got crispy again and was just as tasty! Can't wait to order again soon. read more

Chose to do 7 courses of beef which is what they're known for). They serve bánh tráng (rice paper) and all your spring roll veggies along with the course for making a spring roll out of all the dishes. We had 3 people but ordered 2 and this was enough food. No leftovers to bring home but we were very full. They start you off with gỏi bò (house beef salad). Second to come out Bò Nhúng dấm (thinly sliced beef carpaccio) in a the broth which is a red wine vinegar fondue. Thirdly, Bò chả dùm (steamed beef patty). Next, they give you the 3 different types of beef rolls: bò mỡ chài (grilled beef sausages), bò nướng lá lốt (beef wrapped in Hawaiian leaf, and bò nướng xả (beef rolls with onions and lemongrass). To finish everything all off, they serve cháo bò (beef rice porridge) at the end. read more
